New LIFE for Kaye?

Soaps In Depth

Published May 31, 2010

ONE
LIFE TO LIVE fans are still crossing their fingers -- and toes -- that
Thorsten Kaye (ex-Patrick; ex-Zach, ALL MY CHILDREN) will return to the
soap. But no one is more gung-ho about the actor resurrecting
the
Irish poet than his real-life leading lady, Susan Haskell (Marty)!

The In Depth Story: If it were up
to fans, ABC would find
a way to get Kaye back on AMC and OLTL
permanently. And the
actor, who recently returned to Pine Valley, admits he enjoyed playing
Zach again, even it if was for a quick visit. "It was good to
see
everybody and to see the [new] studio," he tells Soaps In
Depth.

But while Kaye seems to have closed the book on a long-term
return to
AMC, his continued residence on the East Coast has many fans clamoring
for his return to Llanview - and Haskell is one of them!

"I'd love it! Obviously, I love working with him,
and I think
[Patrick] would be a great character to [have] come back," says
Haskell,
adding that many of the show's cast members hope he'll give it some
serious
thought. "Everybody at the show wants him there. I
think it
would be very interesting."

Of course, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have the bard back,
given the
trauma that Marty and Cole have experienced as of late. But
would
the reel-life drama affect Haskell and Kaye's off-screen
relationship?
"Obviously, we bring our own feelings to it as we to any acting job,"
Haskell
explains, "but we'd have fun with it. I think we'd be able to
figure
out what's real and what isn't. I think it would be
great."
At this time, a rep for the show has no comment on whether Patrick will
be resurrected. For more on Kaye's future, be sure to check
